### Summary If an asset has any localized textures or materials, it does not render on Scene Graph entities — both the default version and the localized variants fall back to the engine default material in-game. The asset still renders correctly in the UEFN editor viewport and when used on a normal (non-Scene Graph) actor. ### Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Assets ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Take an asset with at least one localized texture or material variant (e.g. a sign with per-language overrides). 2. Place it on a Scene Graph entity (e.g. via a mesh\_component). 3. The asset looks correct in the editor viewport. 4. Launch a session — the entity renders the engine default material instead of the asset. 5. Comparison: the same asset on a normal (non-Scene Graph) actor renders correctly, and an asset with no localized textures or materials on a Scene Graph entity also renders correctly. ### Expected Result Scene Graph entities should render assets correctly regardless of whether the asset has localized textures or materials. ### Observed Result Any asset with localized textures or materials fails to render on Scene Graph entities — neither the default nor any localized variant displays; the entity shows the engine default material instead. The same asset works on a normal actor, and assets without localized textures or materials work on Scene Graph entities. ### Platform(s) All ### Upload an image ![Screenshot 2026-05-10 155916.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/3/e/a/3eaa81c850f26bfdcf1d14cf6239b972c402ab20.png) ---

Hey Paperly, we’ve tried to reproduce this on our side but haven’t been able to. Can you send over more details on how you’ve got it set up? A video or pictures would be helpful, plus some logs - [How to get your Fortnite logs](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/how-to-get-your-fortnite-logs/682382) ---

Gonna be honest, I jumped into a blank island to get a recording of me reproducing the issue, but everything is working? I went back to the project where I originally had the issue and it’s just working now? 🫠 Apologizes ---
